“Despair is suffering without meaning.”

It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

The attempt to develop a sense of humor and to see things in a humorous light is some kind of a trick learned while mastering the art of living.

There was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.

God is the partner of your most intimate soliloquies.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.

Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.

In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
